Shout out to red lightning, i fuckin love this shit

Nobody ever makes things with upper atmosphere lightning, which is a shame because of how fucking awesome and diverse lightning actually is

I bet most people dont know the ones i just showed you are called sprites

Crazier still there are massive halos of lightning called elves

Absolutely gorgeous

And blue jets

Admittedly these are pretty rare snd very hard to capture phenomena

But theyre fucking beautiful

Lightning is awesome

Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita studies a tornado formation in his lab at the University of Chicago. Also known as Mr. Tornado, he developed the Fujita scale for rating the intensity of twisters.

The Colour of meteor

Some silly thing I sketched on my mother’s card for Mother’s Day, with the miniature form of the supercell “Mr. Thunders” (I imagine her real name is Empress) annoying Melissa with social media messages. Nothing about this is canon of course (I don’t imagine storm avatars to use social media) I just wanted to make a joke.

Believe it or not they call tornadoes spawned by the same supercell a “tornado family” with the supercell as the “parent” so I guess it was inevitable someone would make this joke at some point. I didn’t know it would be me though.

I do believe the statement “this isn’t about you” generally does apply to the storm characters. Most of them do not seek out humans to destroy, they’re just trying to balance the atmosphere. They’re not really thinking of humans when they do what they do. Some of them probably think it’s kind of annoying how humans make everything about themselves.

forever thinking about this satellite photograph from the 2020 atlantic hurricane season that captured 5 tropical cyclones (hurricanes, plus tropical storms and tropical depressions which are basically weaker classifications of hurricanes) and 3 other weather systems that would develop into tropical cyclones shortly after, all in the same single photograph.
